Schefter: "Skins NOT shopping Big Al"

Is Al that big of a distraction to the team? They would have to despise him to go through with that because that is a lot of trouble to, most likely, downgrade at DT. It isn't a cost cutting move because the 4th pick is going to be making huge guaranteed money. To me, that would be a waste of our 4th pick because you have to commit that pick to get anywhere near the production that you are shipping out.

Granted, you will get some type of pick or two for the big guy but this is a lot of effort to take a step back.

I know! If they wanted to get rid of the #1 problem child it would be CP not AH.

Throughout this entire thread, i've made it clear that his being "a distraction" has little - if anything - to do with us wanting to move him. our desire to move him is atleast 99% about acquiring offensive talent.

Unless there's something more to us wanting Atogwe and Carriker from the Rams.. I wouldn't say 99% at all

I'd say most of it had to do with the bonus, then playing position issues and possible picks somehow round the majority out.. pure speculation though

You can make it as clear as you want but do either one of us know?

I agree that we are fine with Okung or with out. We draft him or trade down and get another OL.
I disagree about getting rid of Haynesworth as a bonus. There will be a talent void in our D-line if Hayneswrth leaves and we do not properly replace him. Kemoeatu is questionable coming off a major injury. Our other DLineman are not difference makers. We will create a hole.

You must not have read my post. Getting rid of Haynesworth is not the bonus. Ensuring Suh or McCoy fell to us, enabling us to trade down out of th e#4 pick is the bonus.

If Haynesworth leaves, we'd definitely have a hole... but i'd argue we have bigger holes all across our offensive line (and potentially at WR) that need to be filled. We've made an investment in acquiring Donovan McNabb. we need to do everything we can to make that investment pay off.

When Shanahan became our HC and Haslett became our DC, we signaled that we would no longer be a defense-first team. That sign was confirmed when we traded for McNabb: Offense will be the strength of this team.

Even in that scenario, we'd likely get a pick in return. And it would also be able to use less picks on our defense and more on our offense. Either way, trading Haynesworth would give us more 3-4 players and more offensive talent.

So I know this person who's as good a source on Haynesworth as Schefter is on Shanahan and this person says "Albert's very excited about McNabb and the rest of the additions the team has made. He's talking regularly with coach Haslett and is excited about the upcoming season."

so take that for what you will

He was fibbing to you, to get a message through to Shanahan and BA. Geez keep up

This all means AH is surely to be traded!
